I loved those GN's, always wanted one. These eco's sound more like a vaccum cleaner to me, they just sound wrong...

Tune, down pipes, catback are just a few options to hear the turbos spool more

I had a turbo Miata for a while. It sounded like a 747 when the turbo spooled up. Gawd I miss that car. 2500 lbs and 250 to wheels. Thing ran like a 'sumbich.

Monster miata was the V8 miata. Fast but really hurt the handling with all that weight upfront.

I was actually gonna make a post about mine, mine are actually loud. I can hear the turbo spool quite clear in the cab. I was thinking this may not be right.

Do these ecoboosts have some kind resonator on them that might cut down on turbo noise?
